Setup Guide
1. Charging the Scanner:
Before initial use, fully charge the scanner. Connect the USB charging cable to the scanner's charging port and the other end to a USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port. The indicator light will show charging status.
2. Connecting via 2.4G Wireless Dongle:
- Insert the 2.4G USB wireless dongle into an available USB port on your computer or host device.
- The operating system will automatically install the necessary drivers. This may take a few moments.
- Turn on the barcode scanner. It should automatically pair with the dongle. A successful connection is usually indicated by a specific sound or light pattern on the scanner.
- Open a text editor, spreadsheet, or any application where you want the scanned data to appear.
- Scan a barcode to test the connection. The data should appear in your application.
3. Connecting via USB Cable (Corded Mode):

Operating Instructions
Basic Scanning:
- Ensure the scanner is powered on and connected to your host device (via wireless dongle or USB cable).
- Point the scanner's laser beam at the barcode you wish to scan.
- Press the trigger button. A successful scan is typically indicated by a beep and/or a green light.
- The scanned data will be transmitted to your connected device and appear in the active application.
Advanced Settings (Programming Barcodes):
The NT-2028 scanner supports various configuration options, such as adding prefixes/suffixes, changing transmission modes (e.g., instant upload, storage mode), and enabling/disabling specific barcode types. These settings are typically configured by scanning special programming barcodes found in a dedicated programming guide (often a separate booklet or PDF). Refer to the official Netum support website for the comprehensive programming guide specific to the NT-2028 model.
Data Storage Mode (Offline Mode):
When out of wireless range or disconnected, the scanner can store scanned barcodes in its internal 128 MB memory. To activate this mode and upload stored data, refer to the programming guide for specific barcode commands. Once reconnected, scan the "Upload Data" programming barcode to transmit all stored data to your host device.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
- Use a soft, clean, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the scanner.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the device.
- For the scanning window, use a lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner if necessary. Ensure no liquid enters the scanner housing.
Storage:
Store the scanner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. When not in use for extended periods, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to prolong its lifespan.
Battery Care:
- Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
- Charge the battery using only the provided USB cable or a compatible power source.
- If the battery performance significantly degrades, contact customer support for assistance.
